Kitty I see on your profile that you have been on disability since you were very young.My question for you is have you been re-evaluated since you first were approved?If you had how nerve racking was it.I have 2 1/2 years before I will have to do this and I am already worrying about it because there is no way that my body can handle working any more.Even if I went back to school I can not think of a Job that I could do without ending the day in a heck of a lot of pain.I have seen a lot of post on here about disability but not once have I seen one that is for a review and I wonder if it is easier,harder,or the same as the first time you apply.I know that when I applied it was very easy for me and for most people it is not.I was approved the first time I applied and I did all of the paper work my self without a lawyer.If you could answer any of my questions it would be appreciated.Lost half of my small intestineJan.2008.Ilieostomy for 5 months then reverst in June 2008,Nerve damage to right leg,part of my right hip bone removed Jan. 2008,Cronic pain,hernia,infection in my back called discites,and depression.Gallbladder removed Nov,2008.Surgery to fuse L3 and L4 vertabra Dec. 31,2008.Mother to 9 kids 7 boys 2 girls and 1 stepson.4 grandsons,9 grandaughters.4 of my grandkids I inherited from my twin sister who passed away 6 1/2 years ago from a blood clot after surgery.God has given me my life back after I almost lost it.Even though its a painful and sometimes hard road to walk I take it one step at a time and give thanks to god for every step I take.
